This update resolves issues #17 #18, which allows caland users to generate a new set of scenario input files (changed from xlsx to xls) using a new mean annual land area change dataset derived from USGS's Lucas model projections for business-as-usual land use change for cultivated and urban lands from 2010 to 2051. Using write_caland_inputs.r the user can choose between the original land area change method (i.e. difference in 2010 and 2001 landcover remote sensing data) or this new land area change option. In order to run the new option, two new files (scenario_headers_usgs_area_change.xlsx and CALAND_Area_Changes_2010_to_2051.csv) are called in the write_caland_inputs function. Additionally, CALAND.r was updated to read in the new .xls format for all input files.
